The Roaring Season

Hi Munty, Great to hear your celebrating this but do you have your dates sorted so it does not clash with the events HSS are planning for early next year. A lot of dates are being thrown around re this and this is causing confusion with our planning up here. HSS is an integral part of our historic ...

Ken at least we had a quick beer this time, next time we will sit and have a box and you won't have to leave early and drive home. Was great to catch up, always hard to chat and stop some times when sorting cars, but your time was precious, cheers mate.

O.K. Rodney, what did you do to it that it had to be tidied up? Na did nothing to this one, it was showing bit of wear and tear from weekend fun. Actually had Mk3 after this that blew most things away, it was a real sleeper. Guys reckoned engine had more ticker than me ole race car, certainly had ...

MkIII Cortina production racer. [ATTACH=CONFIG]57513[/ATTACH] I know the history of that car. did B&H and Lyall Martin and Robin Irving bought it and played with it for awhile, even let me have a go, and it was then tidied up and had engine swap (one in it was tooo good to sell as standard) sold as ...

Well it just keeps going on, I may be negotiable to supply electrical tagging, fuel spill kit (real monty), New helmet and HANS device along with written instructions on when, where, and how you shall park. Also what certification/qualification you will require to go for a piss by yourself, and ...

Couple photos of bars as discussed and front of car.

I've just found another shot of George Bunce in the car at Pukekohe on 9 March 1975. [ATTACH=CONFIG]54194[/ATTACH] It looked mean and was fairly mean in this style, last before it "disappeared". Sat at North Shore Automatics for along time, and then went walk about. Glad it was found and gets ...

Kens photos have jigged my mind,
Mike I did talk with couple of people at La Guna last trip who had known him. interesting conversation and they did not know that he had come out to NZ. I will be doing some more research this trip and hopefully meet some of his ole friends, and maybe even cars.

Awesome history and research, thanks Ken. Keep them coming.
Did you ever meet or see "Skip" Scott (Robert Livingstone Scott) in the sports cars. he drove for Ford couple times. Drove an assortment of sports cars in 60s early 70s.

Good looking as well Ken, pity you weren't with me, we would have emptied the stand.

And think that is Don Halliday in Datsun beside Breenan, Warrens car was blue.

Kerr raced his car in Sports Sedans and it grew little flares.

Kennards purple Cortina at Baypark in front of Craig, and who is behind him- names anyone ? Whose is the red Mustang 2....cant be John Popes, his is black Ralf Mossnan number 5? Mustang is Rex Findlay, beside Rob Kennard is Dave NcNaugton (with my spare wheels and tyres), behind Rob is Brennan ...

This is superb, photos awesome and great write up and history. Look forward to it.

That Mercury is a neat bit of gear, grunt city.

I am going to get back to this and history of parts from Trans Am, where they went and where they ended up. But more importantly, I recieved an email this week from Lindsay Willis with some photos of a special visiter who dropped into say hello. Lindsay and Graeme Smith have been friends for a very ...

run in 3 class's. looking for info.
Know who won 2.5ltr couple times. Good little Escort
Second couple times to Jigger in the Ex Findlay Datsun, it was quick and he was quicker. Good times, good battles, good after parties.

#7 the "Yella " thing tossed arod and they found another engine on a farm about 50 mile away. went and got it, what a mess, cleaned best as, transfered parts and got going. not fast but going. this car is getting worse in appearance each time i see it.

#61 Think you will find it is Ron Kendall in the skoda, actually positive it is.
Ron prepared these cars and had occassional drive. Was quick as well. Actually leed the Waiuku rally after couple of stages against real good company.

All Cortinas and Mini Cooper S s compliant, but I thought that MSNZ was looking to FIA Group 5 for 1968 Great field of wild Zephyrs and Anglias So Kevin.......how was your A90 eligible to race and to get points and the Cortinas and Minis not, was it your multi carb non factory set up? John, have ...
